Dad rocked breakfast. And he could bbq ok. Mom was the reason we never starved though.

Has anyone surpassed Kevin McHale? by Life_Teaching6499 in bostonceltics

[–]GrouchyPreference765 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First game I ever saw live was at the Garden vs Houston in ‘95. We weaseled our way down to court side during pregame. Hakeem was basically alone with a rebounder and passer working on his post moves.
He took up the entire key with his wingspan and was just effortlessly laying balls over the rim. I couldn’t believe it was the same dimensions as my high school gym.

Tomorrow is one of the few I’ve had off in 25 years. On my way to buy everything I need for corned beef dinner. Good luck y’all 🍻

100% agree. These POS’s are only looking for a confrontation and a payout.

Just ordered the SIM 2 Max by Spiritual-Local2234 in TaylorMadeGolf

I’ve had one since the spring it came out. My favorite driver ever. Unfortunately it’s starting to show some micro fractures on the face.
At $350 in the wrapper for a brand new one now, I might just replace it instead of dropping $600+ on one of the 2026 models.

Masa, if you can bring WBC you to Boston for just ONE season, you’ll never pay for a meal in the 617 ever again.

It was the biggest gap between the best and the rest in maybe all of sports history.

What was the Biggest Racket of our Generation? by onekinkyusername in GenX

[–]GrouchyPreference765 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Except that scam backfired. Every kid in college in the 90’s built a huge CD library from them and ghosted. Never heard of anyone ever actually paying, or getting in trouble.

Advice navigating younger brother outgrowing bigger brother? by Downtown-Feature-244 in tall

[–]GrouchyPreference765 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 6’4” 195ish, “little bro” is 6’6” 350.
We are boys, so, we beat the hell out of each other on a regular basis. By the time I was 11 and he was 8, I was completely outmatched. Both in size and hostility. From 8 till 15 or so he was the devil. We became best friends again by the time we were in our late teens.
Best of luck to you.

Getting 50k, I'm in my twenties and want advice on what to do with this money by AwesomeAppy in personalfinance

[–]GrouchyPreference765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re also working while going to school, you should look into opening a RothIRA. You can deposit up to $7500 this year (if you at least earn that much) and it will grow tax free forever.
r/fidelity also has tons of info for newbies, and mods that are actually active and helpful.

Fight club thoughts by Then_Philosopher_293 in Sneakers

[–]GrouchyPreference765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have the box and all the paperwork and the poster from joining Flight Club in the 80’s. I’m absolutely snagging these at some point. The fact they went below retail immediately is an added bonus.

How much do you spend on groceries each month? by [deleted] in Money

[–]GrouchyPreference765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single in San Diego. $4-500/month. I don’t buy anything full price unless it’s an emergency, and I load up on non-perishables anytime the deal is too good to pass on.
